Image processing apparatus, image capture apparatus, control method therefor, and computer program

A control method for an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• image capturing of using an image capture unit to execute image capturing in response to an image shooting instruction;
• displaying the image obtained by the image capturing, using a display unit;
• accepting a transfer instruction to transfer the image to an external apparatus;
• and
• transferring an image subject to the transfer instruction to the external apparatus, using a communication unit,
• wherein if acceptance of the transfer instruction is possible during display of the image by the display unit, display of the image in the displaying step is continued until the transfer instruction is accepted.

A computer program that is stored on a computer readable storage medium and causes a computer to function as an image processing apparatus provided with an image capture unit, display unit, transfer acceptance unit, communication unit, and display control unit;

• the program comprising:
• computer-executable instructions for executing image capturing in response to an image shooting instruction;
• computer-executable instructions for displaying an image obtained by the image capturing unit;
• computer-executable instructions for accepting a transfer instruction to transfer the image to an external apparatus;
• computer-executable instructions for transferring an image subject to the transfer instruction to the external apparatus;
• and
• computer-executable instructions for controlling display by the display unit, that, if acceptance of the transfer instruction by the transfer instruction acceptance unit is possible during display of the image by the display unit, controls the display unit so as to continue displaying the image until the transfer instruction is accepted.

An image capture apparatus comprising:

• an image capture unit configured to execute image capturing;
• a display unit configured to display an image obtained by the image capturing;
• a setting unit configured to set a display time for every images obtained by the image capturing;
• a communication unit configured to transfer the image obtained by the image capturing to an external apparatus;
• and
• a display control unit configured to control display by the display unit so as to continue displaying the image until a following operation is accepted by ignoring the display time set by the setting unit, if it had been instructed to confirm the image to be transferred before transferring.
